Hoagy B. Carmichael. Hoagy B. Carmichael is a name that is synonymous
with the bamboo fly rod. His seminal work A Master's Guide to Building a Bamboo Fly Rod,
written with master rodmaker Everett Garrison & first published in
1977, helped create the "bamboo Renaissance" we are still enjoying
today.

The new book 8 By Carmichael: Portraits of Fly Fishing
Innovators Ed & Jim Payne, Chauncy Lively, Dr. George Parker Holden,
& Vince Marinaro, along with a Short Collection of Stories is a
book of essays & articles, some of which were previously published
in the legendary The Angler's Club of New York Bulletin & in The
American Fly Fisher & have always been difficult to locate. These
wonderfully written & witty articles detail everything from the
author's relationship to Vince Marinaro & Chauncy Lively to detailed
& definitive articles on famed rodmakers George Parker Holden, the
author of the influential Idyll of the Split Bamboo, & Ed & Jim Payne.

In
particular, the 50-page treatment of the Paynes will likely be the
definitive work on the subject for the foreseeable future. Based on
exhaustive research, it will serve as a fitting tribute to these masters
of the split cane fly rod.

The book is printed in very limited
numbers (1000 copies in the First Edition) & will certainly sell out
very quickly. It is a beautiful hardcover with a Smyth sewn binding
& comes in a Excelin stamped slipcase. Don't miss out on your
opportunity to get a copy!
